GTX 780 performance revealed (kepler)
- Thread starter seena
- Start date
Looks like SLi 580 = 780. Nice. All that grunt without driver problems / microstutter. WIN.
I'll upgrade for twice the power in a single GPU!
BF3 Ultra @ 120FPS on my 120Hz screen with no mircostutter. mmmmmmm
This says it all:

It's a fair bit better than GTX 580 SLI.
I may go down this route too. IF this turns out to be true then it's better than what I expected pessimistically, and as good as what I expected optimistically (I mentioned in a previous post in some thread that performance lowerbound will be 70% and upperbound will be 120%/130% for the "GTX 680".)
but arnt these supposed to be avail in like q3 next year ? by that time amd will probably be like 4 month away from their 8000 series so whats the point, unless kepler releases early next year then they wont have much time.

LOL, you guys fall for the same wind up every time! Seena is probably laughing his arse off at how seriously some of you are taking this thread.

Obviously a fake. You guys are funny. Two reasons:
1. They miss out an entire series e.g. 6xx... Really? Why?
2. Performance is double in all games, coming upto 2.5x in others? Unlikely when we have seen estimates of the expected performance of the 7970 etc...

Perhaps they'll release it on April Fools and call it the jk112?
It's just a ratio of performance comparing the two. the 580 being 1 all the time there for if the 780 is 2 in the same game, it's twice the performance

My guess is that it's a Random Unit just to show the performance difference of the 2 series.

Of course there is a valid reason for going 580gtx>780gtx..... loads of stupid Nvidia people fell for it once before, so why not again 
Also there will be the customary low end renamed as low end 610-640's and then when they finally release high end parts they'll think to themselves how unfair it is to name the new high end stuff the same gen as their rebrands, so why not just throw in another generation while they're at it.
As for the performance, in terms of predictions, exactly where I think it will be, in terms of the over 2x performance games..... well its nice to know this early which next gen games will massively overuse tessellation without improving IQ isn't it
It's also nice to know AMD has an option in drivers to limit tessellation to a useful level, meaning Nvidia users can run at lvl 32, lose performance and see no IQ increase and AMD users can run along smoothly, faster, at optimal levels, max IQ gain, no wastage.
Me thinks Batman 3 doth not use tessellation

This graph is a joke but if the 780 can do over 100% better in some games that will be very good for me because there are certain terribly coded games that I love but can't make use of SLI properly like GTA4.
Even with a single 580 1.5GB it struggles around 19-30 fps with the supersampling mods and maxed out for me and adding another 580 wouldn't make much difference in this console port. I could really do with 100% more raw grunt, tessellation or no tessellation.

well that graph is more than likely nonsense, but a couple of things to notice...the use of the word estimates and the the whole 780 thing instead of the 680 that people were expecting.
estimates could mean anything from these are just hopefully guesses by Nvidia of the performance gains or the article writer used the word without realising how it could be interpreted or even that he did it deliberately.
the 780 naming thing is more than likely just to bring them into line with AMD, 7 series gong up against 7 series. Just like Microsoft did with the Xbox 360, to bring it into line with the playstation3.
